Excerpt from Jasper Fairfax
Many years I hope; but Doctor Dorne did not meet the eyes of his patient as he spoke. He kept his finger on her wrist, and dampened the bandage about her head with a sponge.
Why should you hope, or say you hope when you know my hours, possibly my moments are but few?
The injured woman panted for breath, but, with an effort that started the crimson stain through the band age about her temples and deepened the pallor around her mouth she continued.
